I genuinely do not believe this. If they intended on making anonymized data open, they wouldn't have a marketing site up already.

I don't understand why those have to be mutually exclusive. It's possible that they haven't finished cleaning the data for public use, but the data is ready for 'trusted' city planners.

I don't think it's mutually exclusive - I simply don't trust Uber to act in good faith for anything they do. They've yet to demonstrate that they're deserving of trust that they're going to make that data open.

Maybe they plan - for the right price - to make identifiable trip data available?
